Its just early in the morning and somebody and something is really getting on my nerves. Whats the point in telling pple what they said is definitely wrong and insisting that what she said is definitely correct? There's simply no sense, cos there are so many pple who are more well-educated than she is. I'm not trying to despise her by the fact that she might not even have completed her secondary education, but the truth is she's just like a country-bumpkin who hasnt even travelled to any place further than Malaysia and sad to say, who doesnt even read or listen to the news. The only thing that she has is $$$ and i guess that probably lent her the 'right' to boss and brag abt anything and everything that seems so shallow and superficial. I dont believe i'm the sort of person who makes a mountain out of a molehill, but somebody does! And the reason? I guess its cos she has never encountered anything else other than what she sees and hears in her small little social life. Or family life, i should say. Worse case, anyone?
My point being, one should always learn to accept other pple's views. Its not that we're always right, and of cos, its not that what pple say would always be spot-on too. But at least, do learn to accept. There's no point in arguing something when at one instance, everybody knows that what u are saying is W-R-O-N-G!. You're just making a fool of yourself cos pple do travel, do read, and do listen to the news! In addition, even if what u really said is correct, pple dont always have to agree with u too.
I mean at least for myself, after having worked for so long and seen so much new stuff, I have learnt this fact. And never in my life do i say a "NO" after what anybody says. Of cos, u are entitled to your own opinions, but that doesnt deprive other pple of the chance to make the correct statement too. Thats why, saying "NO" to other elses' comments is the last thing i'd ever do. And i never force anybody to agree with my opinions cos those are just my OPINIONS. They are not facts and pple do have to decision to choose wat they wanna believe. And of cos, I cant be bothered.
Just a casual comment, mirrors are there for a purpose. If u have the looks, u have it. If you dont, u dont. I cant really seem to understand how somebody can think that she is the beauty queen and go round flaunting looks that she doesnt possess. I think i shant say any further abt this cos the words and tone may not be so kind anymore.
And of cos, after having writing for so long, who am i actually hinting at? Ask me, I'll tell, but thats provided u know who the person, to begin with. And perhaps sometimes we should just mind our own businesses, cos I'm also quite sick of the same person who always probe into other pples' personal stuff. I didnt want to be rude, but maybe one day, i will really tell her: "Why cant u just MYOB and stop meddling in my personal affairs? And why are u so KPO?"
Haha, i dont wish for that day to come cos i foresee an unpleasant scene.

The Central @ Clarke Quay
It was a last min shopping trip. Heard from KS that there's a new shopping mall at Clarke Quay so Hei and I decided to visit it after work since we were both working late. It was supposedly just the 2 of us, then Jason and his fren decided to join along too.
The carpark of the mall was horrendously head-spinning, try turning and turning till you reach level 5. See if u don't get giddy after that. Haha.
We got quite a shock initially when we saw the emptiness of the mall. Emptiness- as in lack of pple and SHOPS!!! I felt like whacking KS for telling me that most of the shops were catered for ladies when most of the shops werent even there yet. Luckily the other wing of the building wasnt that bad. We walked around before having dinner at a Japanese restaurant. It was funny that all the restaurants there were Japanese. Of cos, i felt so guilty after eating that whole big bowl of Chicken Teriyaki Don lor. How on earth did I manage to finish it?! Dont ask me, i also dont know. Dinner was $16 per pax.
After that we went back. I reached home at almost 11pm. Not too late afterall.

Sunway Vesak 07
The long-awaited Vesak Day has finally arrived. And ended. Since the previous outing, we have been planning activities for this day. Pulau Ubin, Sentosa, Batam, Bintan, ice-skating, Pasir Ris, ECP. It was finally decided the day before...Marina Sq. That was suggested by Hei and Jason who anticipated that weather would be hot the next day.
Woke up early, went out wif Sis and Mum. Then went to Orchard Tangs and Isetan. Was supposed to meet the gang at 3pm, but i was late, and i reached at abt 3.30pm. Chan was there early but i didnt see him til i felt someone pulling my bag. Marina Sq was very crowded and its really irritating to be bumped and squeezed all the time. Anyway, i thot i was late enough, but who knew that the gang would be even later. They reached at 4pm.
We went into Superbowl and they told us the next lane available would be 1 hr later. So we took the chance to do some shopping before bowling for 2 games. Jason was very pro. And as for me? Haha, no comments if u saw the way i dropped that stupid heavy thing and kicked it down the lane. The best part was i always got the chance to play twice cos there was either sth wrong with the sensor or the force i exerted. But still, i didnt help to improve the score.
After that, we went to have Ramen for dinner. It was funny as i wasnt funny and the rest were, yet i was the first to finish my food. Haha. But anyway, i drank many many cups of green tea. Guess i was very thirsty. Haha. This was followed by neoprint and Daytona. Luckily i wasnt last for the arcade game. And the neoprint was less disastrous. At least we understood the procedure and Jason wasnt perspiring as bad as the previous time.
The outing ended wif us drinking at McCafe before heading to the search for Jason's car. I reached home at abt 12.30am.
A memorable Vesak Day indeed.

Pirates of the Caribbean
My 2nd sis's beloved show: Pirates of the Caribbean. So i went to watch with her after work at Century Cineplex. What a long show-160min. Started at 8.45pm and ended at abt 11.30pm. Woah! I shd say this is my first non-comedy, non-cartoon and action-packed English show. I didnt know why the fighting part bored me so much that I fell asleep lor. Haha. 2nd sis fell asleep too during the conversation parts. Too tired, i guess. Quite funny to a certain extent. Overall, it was ok, just that it's been too value-for-money given the duration.

A good way to spend my Sunday
It was supposed to be breakfast, but it ended up being lunch. Met Jason at McDonalds today. As i've mentioned, it was supposed to be breakfast, but somebody couldnt wake up when i called him at 9.30am lor. So I woke up anyway.
Since we didnt really decide which McD to go before that, I just set off to central early, in case I need to take the train or sth. I did a mini shopping andbought a hairband and a shirt at Giordano. Haha. The king finally came at abt 11.30am. So we had our meal and had a very thorough walk at Century Sq and TMall. After that we went to have coffee and tea at Coffee Bean. Ah..what a luxury.
We left the malls at abt 3.30pm.He offered to send me back, but I told him there wasnt a need to cosits just walking dist from the malls to home.
Though slack, it was a good way to spend my Sunday.

Meeting Swee Hoon...
Work til 1pm. Almost got a scare out of my wits when Kwong told meto stay til 5pm. And to think I had the cheek to wave goodbye to him when I knock off at 1pm. Haha.
1.30pm went to meet Swee Hoon at Tampines Inter. Our destination was Marine Parade. Hehe, it was so great to be able to catch up with each other. Talked a lot during the bus journey.
When we reached the food centre, we were both amazed at how hungry we could get. We practically wanted toeat anything and everything. So after our meal,we went to Parkway. It wasdefinitely stupid to go ECP in such a hot weather, so we forgot abt going there anyway. At PP, we almost went into EVERY shop. And I was a klutz of course, knocking down ladders and dropping mushrooms and stuff. And I shd have got the warnign when i dropped all the 10 stacks of drawings for LUP 46 & 47 in office earlier on. But I wasnt the only clumsy person around, cos pple keep stepping on my slippers. Haha. Oh ya, I ate a big ice-cream too. Missed the waffle.
After combing the whole mall, we headed back to malls in Tampines. The journey back was absolutely long and sleepy. I slept throughout, halfway almost dropping my bag. Haha.
Back in Tampines, I saw a nice pair of heels at Century Sq. But i didnt get the permission to buy. :(But I bought 3 pairs of earrings for my 1 precious pair of ears. Haha.
Its been a great meet-up with Swee Hoon. And Winnie the Pooh. Haha.

College Day
Lets see. I was supposed to reach by 8am, but I was slightly early. It was attendance taking for the 1st 1h30min. It was so crowded and noisy in LT2. Like a gathering. Haha.I was sitting next toLee Junyi. He must be wondering who on earth Wan Ping is, how come she knows me. But the fact is, who doesnt know his name? Haha. We had a great chat throughout the ceremony. I didnt know he's such a nice person.
The dress code according to the letter, was supposed to be formal. But apparently,we've got pple wif miny skirts, tank tops, lady slippers and all all sorts of funny outfits and coloured hairstyles. Sigh. Could have worn other pair of heels le lor. But its ok.
It was such a long wait for that plaque for academic excellence and that less than 1 min of time on stage. A handshake, a plaque, a bow and thats it. After that was performance follwed by tea reception. Guest-of-honour was DrVivian Balakrishnan. To be frank, i was really very tired during the speeches and performance. Who wouldnt be if he had slept for barely 4h before the event leh? Haha.
Took photos with Mr Tan, Mr Lau, Miss Ang, Mrs Lim, Mr Chong and went back home to sleep for 6 h: 3pm-9pm. You could have imagined how tired I was. Haha.

Company KTV
My 2nd KTV for the month on 18May. 12pple turned up, $13 each. This one's organised by Rosie and I defintely dun welcome the idea of her boasting abt that. And i esp dun like her to force me to do things that I'm reluctant to. I had drawings to do and I could defintely stay till 7pm instead of working till 6pm and going Giant to do nth. I ate very little at Giant foodcourt cos I wasnt hungry at all.
We reached Punggol Marina KTV at abt late 7pm. Ray really drove fast. The place was horrible at first and even horribler later. Its like a pub, with KTV rooms and pple playing pool and smoking at the lounge outside. Not a single bit of fresh air!
I was fore-warned to preserve my voice but i still sang. Luckily there was free flow of green tea that came with the bottle of liquor. At first it was fun as I managed to sing quite a bit. Me and Hei even acted like zombies and were hopping around when Chan was singing. Haha. Near the end, I was totally exhausted cos I was too weak to sing. My stomach was empty lor. Thats when Siew Mook and Jason who didnt sing much earlier, sang to their hearts' content. I felt much better after eating some grapes.
Pple began to leave at 9pm plus cos they had to work the next day (Sat). No comments for Rosie's husband who came much later. This is supposed to sound negative, by the way. Eventually, only the 4 of us stayed till abt 1plus am. Jason, Siew Mook, Hei and I. Siew Mook was a bit more than abnormal that night. Haha.
I was so tired that I fell asleep in Jason's car. I didnt even know when Hei and Siew Mook got out of the car. I only knew that it was hard of Jason to see me up cos i was really sleepy. Haha.
Back home, I realised I really reeked of tobacco. Horrible. EVERY SINGLE THING stink, stank, stunk. Stinked. I couldnt afford to go College Day with that horrible smell. I washed my hair wif shampoo thrice but the smell was still there. I wasnt exaggerating.
I slept at 3am, wondering how i was going to wake up at 6am.

Medical check-up
Morning was quite busy. Cos there were visitors (Residential Engineers for QTRC 24), so I had to help out with the 'waitress' tasks. The reward? - the sweet treats left behind after the meeting had ended. Haha.
Its amazing that Crystal approved my half day pm leave this morning. I had no choice cos I really had to attend that stupid OBS medical check-up. Of cos I was hoping for a perfect medical rept, but I didnt want to attend OBS leh. But eventually, I'm still certified fit for that dumb prog. Sigh.
I went home at 12.15pm, ate and took a nap. Hehe, by the way, they were giving out free coke at Tampines Inter. Anyway, I reached the GP @ Paragon at 2.30pm, took the tests then went for the X-ray screening at 3.10pm. Seriously, I didnt know that Paragon actually consisted of a medical tower. In fact, those GPs from lvl 7-12 were all those private and high-end kind. Wow. I had to wait 1h for the X-ray rept. So i went to shop around. I didnt leave the building cos it was raining. But eventually I still crossed over to Takashimaya to buy some food stuff for 2nd sis. I enjoyed that 1h being alone, and shopping around. Its the freedom and independence that I really felt glad abt.
So its actually window shopping at Orchard. But I hated being so unglam holding on to so many things in those noisy plastic bags. Esp during rainy weathers. And the X-ray bag was so big. But I still managed to buy a new shirt at Tampines thou. Haha.

Drawings & OT
OT again. After such a long time since I left Gali Batu. What happened?
A new task given by Kwong: to look at the drawings and double check the plank markings. Oh my god, I was like what on earth the drawings were all abt?! But fortunately, I still managed to cope. But the funny thing was that Kwong told me to take my time to do the checking yet all of a sudden, this pm, he told me to stay back til 7pm EVERYDAY to finish the checkings.
I shant talk abt the mistakes that Si Ling made cos those were simply horrendous and shouldnt have been made. Things couldnt have gone missing for no reason and some of the mistakes were absolutely pointless.
Anyway, I shall expect more OTs. But i shall look fwd to Fri's KTV session again. But then again, it seems like my voice have yet to fully recover yet. Sigh...

The Skirt Story
Sunday evening. I met up with Jason and his fren for a shopping and dinner trip. Supposedly, it was only the 2 of us. Then he told me that his fren wanted to join in. Of cos, i didnt mind cos I did have some reservations abt going out with him only. So he came to pick me up at abt 5pm plus and off we headed to Suntec.
It was a little awkward initially in the sense that we seemed to be walking around the mall aimlessly. Nobody bought anything initially, which made the whole shopping trip seemed even more pointless.Then Jason treated us to ice-cream. Mine was Mint Chip in cup. That soothed the tense atmosphere a bit cos at least we just window shopped and we got to talk more. Actually, I wasnt exactly interested in the hps that they were interested in, neither were they interested in the clothes and shoes that I enjoyed looking at.
The funny part was that I kept wandering off to other shops when they were looking at the hps and many times they couldnt find me. Finally I bought sth at BUM Equip. They were having a relocation sale and mind you, the apparels were absolutely good bargains.
After that we went to Carrfour before going to Sakae Sushi for dinner. I think I really wasnt feeling that well, so I ate very little. I could tell from the food ordered that they were really trying to accomodate me. But I really had no appetite. I couldnt help that right?
After dinner, I went back to BUM and saw a denim skirt on the manequin. It was a must-buy piece, but a pity it was the last piece and it was worn on the manequin in addition to the fact that they were closing for the day soon and Jason & Sunny were at the door waiting for me. Under such circumstances, I gave the skirt a miss. But it was a temporary miss.
That nite, i thot abt the skirt and I really regretted not insisting to buy it. Solution? I called up the store the next day morning to reserve it and went to collect it after work.
Mission accomplished-satisfied.

Sickening
And so i have been sick for almost 5 days. Horrible. I know the last time i was was sick was more than 1 year ago, but that doesnt mean I have to see the DR twice, and only to realise that my cough has worsened after the consuming the "stronger" cough mixture. Lousy DR, lousy medicine. And not to mention the long-waiting time for consultation. But yest's trip to the DR was an eye-opener. Cos i got to go to many other places as well and to see the dam @ Lower Seletar Reservoir, despite the hot weather.
In any case, I'm grateful to my colleague-Jason for coaxing me to see the DR, being my chauffer twice to the clinics and being my tour guide yest. It was really great to travel around!

Partying with colleagues
Have been waiting for this day since I started work. Lets not talk abt the stupid dental appt in the morning.
4pm - 8pm
Went to sing KTV with Jason, Hei, Kui Hiong, & Li Chia. @ PartyWorld Int'l Building. I thot i was late cos Lisa was such a dilly dally. So i half ran from Hyatt to Scotts and reallyran to the actual destination. I was both early and late.
1 free drink each and some snacks tgt with the many songs that we sung. Hei was really 1 great singer, I must say. Her voice was really cut out to be a Canto-singer. It was great to have FIR, SHE, Rene, Stef, Jay Chou, Lee Hom, JJ, Fish, Joey, Joi, Tanya, Jolin, Eason, Beyond and Janice to join us for the evening.
Kui Hiong left halfway and Chan came to join us. Thats when Chen Bai Qiang and Theresa came to life. Of cos, the most enjoyable part was singing songs like 'Huo Yuan Jia', 'Ben Xiao Hai' and 'Dui Mian De Nv Hai Kan Guo Lai' cos these songs involved everyone.
The bill was $76.80 to be divided by 6 pple.
8.30pm-10pm
Went to Fish & Co for dinner. Shared a Seafood Platter for 2 ($34.90) with Jason. I must say the serving size was really humongous. Especially Chan's fried fish wif rice. Nobody could finish thier food. Haha.
Hei ordered the same platter as us and she shared with Li Chia.They were so fast at first-it took them the time of me & Jason to eat a few calamari and fries, to finish almost all the 10-12 prawns. But it seems like slow and steady still win the race cos eventually Jason & I ate more than them lor. Haha. But we were all lazy to move after our meal.
The total bill was $115.50 to be shared among 5 pple.
10pm-11pm
We spent this hour walking around Shaw and Cineleisure looking for the perfect movie at the perfect timing. but there was none. So we ended up taking Neoprints. The 4 of us were quite like idiots cos we didnt really noe how to operate the machine. But thou messy, the outcome was still quite alright. It was a really hot hour as we were all perspiring after taking the Neoprints. Haha.
11.10pm-12am
We sat down at McDonalds near DFS to chat and drink Green Tea cos we were all tired and hot after the ups and downs. Especially me, cos my hp batt was flat and I was quite flustered. 2nd sis forgot to bring her keys and she had to contact me so that I could pass her the keys. But my hp batt was so flat that I had to give her Jason's hp no. Had a nice great chat abt work, life, names, fashion, etc before heading home in Jason's car.
12.30am
Finally reached home. =)
What a great day I've had!

Shopping during office hours!!!
Shall talk abt work today. It was so boring before lunch. I was still begging Jason in the morning to bring me to site. But its not possible lah. Then slighlty before lunch, Crystal told me to run some errands for her. Which meant I got to go out!!! Oh my god, i was exhilarated. Over the moon and into the outer space. So after lunch we went NTUC to buy sundry for the month. It was a thirsty trip cos we bought 1 carton (24 bottles) of mineral water and 16 x6 of packet drinks. Of cos there were other items such as toilet rolls and milo and coffee...and we spent $199.10. Haha. If only I got my sis's NTUC linkcard.
So after lunch, Soh dropped me at Giant and I took the free shuttle to Tampines MRT. The1st destination: UOB Plaza 1 to collect shipping guarantee. Dont ask me wats that. I dunno. Then I took a cab from there to Tanjong Pagar Complex @ Keppel Road-exactly where we got lost on Sun on our way to Vivo. Haha. I handed the doc to TNS Doris and I took a cab to Maybank @ Jln Sultan Rd, Textile Centre. Collected that doc and BINGO - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! It was barely quarter-past-3 pm. Haha.
So guess wat? I walked down to Bugis Junction and started to....I shant be so explicit. Those who know me well will know wat I did. At abt 4pm plus, I tried to take a cab back to office. But there was a long queue outside Parco. And the worse thing was it was changing shift time. So it was extremely hard to hail a cab. And the worst was traffic jam down PIE. My goodness. But I still made it back to office before 5pm. Haha. It was fun, cos I actually got to escape the boredom i'd have experienced in office and i got to S--- during office hours. Haha. Wicked.
Work apart, these few days have been quite sweet. Thou it meant a waste of sms, I really enjoyed cahtting with him. I dont know if i shd look fwd to our meeting next Sun cos i'm afraid things may change. Afterall, we only met once. But I cant be bothered actually.
Yeah, this Sat the 4 of us from Sunway are going PartyWorld to sing K. Yes. But no. I have tuition and dental appt before that. Sigh.

Pre-labour day
Been a great day today despite seeing the wrong bus hence boarding the wrong bus aft work. Had a great long chat with YS and it was really enjoyable.
Work was a little slow and messy today. Rosie was on leave so the office was exceptionally quiet. Henry, Ray, Koh, Li Chia were on leave. But that made minimal diff anyway. Slow cos time seemed to pass very slowly, messy cos Kwong always gave me work that I'm unfamiliar with to do. But I hv enjoyed that, seriously, cos it was really a great experience and chance to learn how to handle new and unfamiliar stuff independently. Thats why its been a great day!

Vivo
This morn woke up early cos I had to go down to Vivo with 2nd sis to buy a dress for Jasmine's wedding. Haha, so reluctantly we woke up at 8am and started cheong-ing. We manged to leave hse at 9.15am. It took us 1 h to get there cos we got lost and wasted a lot of time going in circles. But that gave me a chance to snap quite some shots of the to-be-completed Ferris Wheel and the to-be-forgotten railway station and tracks. Haha.
It was fun to shop so fast. U shd hv seen the pace we kept and the way we buzzed in and out of shops. Saw a Zara dress that we both liked, but too bad- out of small sizes. Chey. Then we went for lunch at LJS. Surprisingly it took us less than 1/2 h to get to Pasir Ris from Vivo.
We were on our own for the next 2h before meeting at Chinatown for part II. Haha.

Seoul Garden
Went Seoul Garden @ TMall wif 2nd sis this aftn after work. It was my 2nd time and her dunno-how-many'th time there liao yet we still seemed lost like some suagu-gia. Haha. I realise its really not worth it for us to go eat buffet. Cos we barely ate a lot before we raised our white flag and surrender. We paid $48+++ for some chicken, soup and ice-cream. Can u believe it?!! But it was fun thou. Cos we dunno when exactly the bbQ food were cooked, so we just bbq and bbq until it turned almost black. If not,we would just dump them into the soup. And somehow the fire just got 'bigger' and the oil started to 'jump'. The soup just kept on boiling also. Haha. It was really clumsy. So we just bbQed a little and went for the cooked food instead. We had lots of ice-cream. And I meant LOTS. Haha, thou it was ex and not exactly filling, it was FUN!!!

MOE Psychometric Test
I went for the MOE Psychometric Test this aftn. Saw Hui Yan. It was not as tough as the one I've taken in sch, but its not really simple either. I was supposed to think and write a serious problem and ans 58 related mCqs. I felt like writing that the problem was I was supposed to think of a serious problem yet I couldnt think of any. Haha. It wasnt a timed test, so I just wrote some rubbish and got it over and done with. Anyway, Iwasnt really interested in that scholarship cos of 2 reasons.1 of them being the courses offered werent of Engineering nature. The other reason...thats for me to know, for you to find out. Haha.
In any case, this test was still fruitful cos I made a new fren-Yong Sheng. Didnt know that we actually have Kai Sheng and Xiao Han as our frens in common. Haha.

Free yet busy
Things at Jln GB finally came to a small full-stop. After the terrible midnite shift on 10apr. Haha, I didnt go to work on 11apr cos I only left that remote place at 2am plus, reached home at 3am, finished the report at 6am, finally went to sleep. How to wake up at 7pm for work leh?Hehe. Right now, its no longer my biz to go there. I just have to update the schedule and check how's Vincent doing. Its ok. But its funny that I'm still so busy. But then i guess its only temporary. Once sch starts, things are gonna get back to normal. An abnormal kind of normal cos my home would be my hostel. I know I ever said that I didnt want to stay in hostel, but things have changed.

Jalan Gali Batu
It all started on 26 Mar. That morning Crystal came to me and told me that Sunway will be taking over a stockpile at Jalan Gali Batu near Kranji. She asked if I would consider going over to handle the admin work. I refused to the offer and yet I was sent over that very aftn. At least Wong and Crystal was with me. My first OT-til 7pm. That stupid Song from Surbana went back with me cos he said Marine Parade was along the way. Eventually, the half an hour journey turned out to be an hour and the cab fee was $29.80. Never had i spent so much money on cab! Luckily can reimburse. The next day I was told to be there by 7.30am. But the cab was early, so I reached at 7am. That day ended early at abt 4pm.
Job was extreme. Thats all I can say. Its either very busy-thats when all the trucks come at the same time, or its very free-thats when there are no truck at all. What i need to do is to weigh the trucks, print the Delivery Orders (DO), sign and print the DO Summary at the end of the day. The report to be done using Excel is an additional hwk given by S. Its simple.
AllI can say is that the stockpile is a lifeless place. Not as if there's nobody there,but u cant expect much pple when its in such a secluded and deserted area, surrounded by stones, forest and foreign workers' domitory. Some of my colleagues joked that the stones were of equivalence to diamond. Of cos, given that granite and sand are like precious gems to construction-related firms. It gets dark at night, but I'm never afriad. Dont ask me why. Twice I worked til 9pm/10pm plus, and pple were all worried abt my safety. But I wasnt scared at all, I swear.
It takes a long-legged person abt 5mins to walk from the container to the toilet and 20mins to complete the trek round the 20mm aggregate stockpile. I believe the view (esp of sunrise and sunset) one gets on top of the hill of stones would be marvellous, but I havent got the chance to climb up yet. Perhaps tmr I will.
On 31-03, I worked til 9pm plus. That was only for 187 loads. I walked out to the mainroad with Ah Boon and Song to wait fora cab. The driver was Ah Boon's face. That day was horriblest cos S kept on calling me on my hp. Almost once every hour. I bet my bill's gonna be a bomb this mth. Last nite was even later. Til 10pm plus for 237 loads. This time round S didnt call me. Phew! But I know he was just worried. Andrew drove me to and fro the toilet in his pick-up yest. Wee Bee came as I was printing the summary and he drove me and Ah Tan toYew Tee MRT Station. I took a cab from there. 1 thing that's bothering me's whether I have dropped my hairclip in Wee Bee's car. Hopefully not-cos I sat at the front seat yest and I'm not sure wat happens if his wife finds a hairclip there.
Tmr's probably my last or 2nd last time going there, cos Wong said he found someone else already. Perhaps it was my initial reluctance that led to the hurry to find new staff. But I couldnt tell him now that I'm actually used to it already. I guess its ok. I have no choice anyway. I'm actually quite confused cos Rosie's back and things have changed more than just a mere bit. Being over at the stockpile would remind pple more of my existence. Is it? Or will it make pple forget abt my existence cos I'm not in the office? I dont know.
But then again, its only a job. Just let it be.
